Serato is continuing to work hard to drag Scratch Live users kicking and screaming from their old software make Serato DJ even better with a series of incremental releases. This time, we see some very useful additions, some improvements and a boatload of fixes all coming to Serato DJ 1.7.2. And you can help Serato make it better with another public beta.
The word from Auckland:
It’s public beta time again. This beta is for the latest signifiant Serato DJ 1.7.2 update, with a heavy dose of maintenance, optimisation and some handy new feature additions and changes. This is the first release since we’ve had detailed crash reporting, introduced in Serato DJ 1.7.0, which has allowed us to identify and fix a number of issues.
The public beta is a great opportunity to help us identify and fix up any further issues before the full release and we encourage everyone to get involved.You can find the link to the beta area when it is live here: http://serato.com/forum/area/661Here are the full release notes for this update:
